Free means $0 per token today, not unlimited or unconditional: both platforms rate-limit free use and require a free API key, some OpenRouter free endpoints may train on your prompts unless you opt out in account settings, and the roster changes daily. Verified against each provider's own pricing data at generation time — but pricing changes without notice, so confirm it's still free on the provider's own page before you rely on it.
